TTE: calling out Saden about ego, when you're the one with so much pride that you'd never bow to another person? Pot meet kettle -- pride = ego.

As far as UCMJ or punishment for a bow, I've never heard that. However the State Department Office of Protocol and Miss Manners know that the President and any U.S. citizen NEVER bow before a monarch or king.
You can say what you want, but in the Middle East the gesture is seen as making the U.S. sub-servient.
